Isaiah 36:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Tell me! Are you really trusting in Egypt to be your staff, that splintered reed that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it? That is what happens to anyone who relies on Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁷ If you say to me that you trust in the Lord your God, isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed? Didn’t Hezekiah tell Judah and Jerusalem to worship at this altar?

⁸ Now then, make a bargain with my master the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses, if you can find enough riders for them.
